Arranged

January

"Jug, I'm-" I'm stopped by a moan. I came.

Jug comes up to me and kisses me. I pull away, smiling. "Love you."

"I love you too." I peck his lips then lay my head on him.

There's a dainty knock. Then another. Knock, knock...knock... knock. I know that knock.

"It's, V." I tell Jug.

"You know how she knocks?" he asks, eyes narrowed and smirk on his lips.

"Shut up and get dressed."

We put our clothes on and walk to the door. Jug opens it then leans on the doorframe.

"Yes, Veronica?" he asks. She motions for someone to come over.

"Thought I'd find you here." she pushes past us into the trailer.

"SweetPea, Fangs." Jug greets them.

"You guys totally did it." SweetPea smirks. I feel my cheeks go pink.

"Shut up, SweetPea." Toni tells him. "That's the Queen you're talking to." Wait, what?

I look at Jug. "Did- am I- oh, for fucks sake."

"Sorry." he says like it's his fault. Kinda is.

"Let's go, Bride of Hobo. That ring was expensive so I'm getting what I want." Cheryl walks past us and empties a bag full of magazines. "I'm kidding it was only like, 2 grand."

"Bitch, what?" slips out my mouth.

"Relax, B." Veronica says. "I paid a grand."

They act like that's no big deal. "Rich people." Archie scolds.

"You just mad cause you don't have this," Cheryl pulls out a stack of hundreds.

"You carry that around?" Jug asks.

"What? Is that bad?" V asks. I narrow my eyes.

"You're in a gang." I say, "You know someone's gonna jump you."

"Come sit, guys. We've got a fucking wedding to plan." Kevin squeals.

"Only Riverdale residents would be saying that at seventeen." I say sitting on Jug's lap.

"Okay, first things first!" V clasps her hands, "Date! When! How! Where! Vows! Imma die! Ahh! I'm gonna be a maid of honor!" She starts fanning herself with both hands.

"No one ever said you were the maid of honor." Reggie tells her.

"Must it be said, Reginald?" I ask him, "We all already know."

"When?" Cheryl asks.

"I don't wanna be here." Jug whines like a two year old. All girls, but me, give him a death stare. I just look at him with a smirk.

"You will choose a date or suffer the consequences." Toni says. "They are bad."

"Fine." He starts to think. "February third."

0203. He said he'd love me forever. He'd give me Valentine's Day through February third to the fourteenth.

"Two months!" Veronica yells, "Not even that! How do you expect me to do that?"

"Ronnie, calm down." Kevin rubs her arms. "It'll be okay."

"Your friends are overdramatic." Jug whispers to me.

"They're yours too." He shakes his head.

"I'm gonna do this," he says then starts sucking on my neck.
